"Are you sure you don't want me to carry that?" Warrick asked as he held the door open for Sara.
"I'm fine; I'll be in an empty room."
"Okay." Warrick said as he watched her walk away.
"Did I just see Sara walk past with a tire wrapped in plastic?" Nick inquired as he ran into Warrick.
"Yes."
"Is she planning on tossing it at me for not replacing the tire?"
"No, it turns out we ran over a nail, but when we stopped we hit a broken tail light. Just in case it has anything to do with our case Sara wanted to bring the pieces back and she decided that there were too many pieces so she wrapped the whole thing and brought it back." Warrick explained.
"How far was it from where the body washed up?"
"A couple thousand feet." Warrick replied. "It could be totally unrelated. A lot of people go out to Lake Mead. But you know Sara."
"Another pole obsession." Nick asked.
"Hopefully not." Warrick said as they walked. "How's your case going?"
"He died because his body overheated. What caused it we're still waiting on tox which seems to be backlogged; Hodges still has the trace evidence and is refusing to relinquish it or any results just yet. Catherine is still with Archie going over stills making sure everyone was where they were supposed to be."
"So you're wandering the halls."
"I fixed the radio on Sara's Denali." Nick said.
"I heard a rumour that Catherine had them give her her own private showing of Momma Mia!"
"Which is true, but for only scientific reasons."
"Of course." Warrick winked at him. "She just wanted to measure the decibel level."
"Of course." Nick's pager bleeped. "David, they got the Tox report back."
"I heading over that way myself I'll go with you."
CSI CSI.
Sara walked into the garage looking for something, totally ignoring Grissom and Greg who were examining the underside of the car that they had towed back in.
Sara began mutter as she searched.
Greg looked at Grissom then they both looked at Sara with curiosity.
"Can we help you?" Grissom asked.
Sara jumped slightly.
"Have you seen the tire iron?" Sara asked.
"Why do you want a tire iron? I thought you had a body that washed up at Lake Mead." Greg queried.
"We did."
"I'm little confused myself." Grissom admitted.
"We ran over a nail and got a flat tire on the way back and we also hit a broken tail light. It could have something to do with the case and now I need a tire iron."
"Here." Greg handed her one.
"Thanks. Wow." Sara said looking at the inside of the car. "Did he park it in a few feet of water a night?"
"No why?" Greg asked.
"A car this new shouldn't have water marks inside that high not unless he… Where did you say he crashed?"
"Why?"
"He has a busted taillight and since it seems that the front of the car was what took the impact. Any chance he reversed it into Lake Mead in the last 24 hours and dumped a body?"
"We'll check for trace and anything else." Grissom promised her. "Any ID on the body?"
"No, female late twenties, well dressed, probably suffocated." Sara replied.
"Well let you know if you find anything." Grissom assured her.
"I should get back. Thanks for the tire iron."
"Do you really think our case is related to Sara's?" Greg asked once she was gone.
"I have seen stranger things. We'll go over the whole car just to be sure."
